About the publication

From everyday curiosities to consequential public questions.

Australia, Actually is an independent explanatory publication for readers who want evidence, context and transparent reasoning.

Mission

Keep the context in.

We investigate Australian facts, history, cultures, language, science, institutions, places and contested public claims. The same method applies to a surprising fact, a historical question and a current public argument.

Reader promise

You should see how we got there.

Substantial articles show the claim, strongest evidence, important context, remaining uncertainty and a correction route.

Neutral method

The rules do not change with the subject.

Governments, opposition parties, businesses, unions, institutions, campaigners and public claims are tested against the same evidence standard.

Independence

No political or advocacy affiliation.

Australia, Actually is independently operated and is not affiliated with a political party, government agency, campaign, lobby or advocacy organisation. Conclusions follow the available evidence and keep material limitations visible.

Accountability

Sources and corrections stay visible.

Articles identify their evidence status, review date, source trail and correction route.
